Capital Tease is a burlesque group here in the national capital, and they took part in Glowfair, putting on performances with just the right mix of fun and sexiness. In burlesque the emphasis is on the tease. The shows were more PG compared to what you might see indoors- there were, after all, kids around- but they were a kick to see.
I caught two solo acts while here. The first goes by the stage name Randi Rouge. She had the audience under her spell while bellydancing.
And the second uses the creative moniker Koston Kreme. She was fun to watch, making creative use of a hoop.
Here we have a couple of shots with the ladies together- and they were popular for posing with. During our Buskerfest this past weekend, a special event indoors mixes together buskers and burlesque. I wonder if Capital Tease was part of that event.
i really think this is a great way to exercise. love the colors of the outfits. am i the 1st comment, what??! that never happens?!?!?!? ( :

That's a hoot. My son's ex-girlfriend does burlesque. A beautiful young lady, but a mess at home! #ironic
